Zab has matured beautifully. Great conversation, always dropping pearls of wisdom. Lives well lived, triumphs, disappointments and great comebacks all rolled into one beautiful life.
That's true but when I listen to James Toney talk these days it's hard to understand him, boxing took its toll on lights out James Toney, but I would love to see him and Mike Tyson mix it up. Let's go champ! 💪🥊🥊
@@joshcooper7393 that's true man, not getting knocked out, comes with a price. He was a smart boxer at the same time. When he was on the urge of getting wobbled, he never threw throwing haymakers to risk getting caught in a flurry.
You must have missed his two fights against Montell Griffin not to mention the one against Drake Thadzi. If Toney goes into the Hall then those two should go in before him.
Perhaps just seeing Super Zab not being a perpetual shit talking machine is odd for some people. But the man has become a class act over the years. Ironically the most telling of it is how he hadn’t mentioned his own shoulder roll which is just as fascinating to watch as Tony’s and Floyd’s.
@@davont1445 Hell yeah, I guess all these folks sayin otherwise scared or what not, but...the only SMOKE he'd be against Iron Mike, is "Blown Out Smoke" Period. Point. Blank.
James toney move up from middleweight to heavyweights. He knocked out Holyfield. Holyfield caught with steroid quite a few times and James toney was still able to knock him out.
Yeah you're right, fighters back then really wanted to show everyone they were the best by fighting the best in there division, for example look at Mickey Ward he lost alot but was love by many
James Toney is just like my grandad was, would fight anyone even at 85years old and genuinely think he’d win. He honestly believed it and that in itself is impressive mentally
@Gary Taylor yes what’s your point?? My point is still valid? If one thinks he’s unbeatable no matter what age it is a great trait. I saw my grandfather fight young men in their early twenties/thirties/fourties and never lost. If he didn’t have that mentality he would have got a beating
James Toney will be a hall of famer but he's not eligible until 2022 because he fought in 2017 and you have to be retired for 5 years to become eligible
@@CoRocDaGreat They didn't do the shoulder roll first. Have you ever heard of Ezzard Charles, Archie Moore, George Benton, Ray Robinson?! You people on here don't know a damn thing about boxing!
You guys need to see that movie concussion with Will Smith about head injuries in football it also does the same from boxing most heavy weights get it because of there heavy punching.
Damn bruh, James Tony was a bad bad bad bad man. I really like watching that dude fight, one of the most exciting fighters in the history of the sport. Legendary offensive shoulder roller with monstrous counter super uppercuts.
James Toney is the Best fighter I saw in his prime in 30 years. Watch the Jirov fight! I saw it live on HBO! Unbelievable! Still my favorite fight to date.
James TONEY is definitely one of the Greatest of all Time.....let's definitely appreciate his greatness and career while he can still hear us...LIGHTS OUT......RESPECT
Appreciate the videos but sometimes wish Elie would keep quiet and let them just talk rather then interrupting with a shit question he's asked numerous times
His questions are so stupid. Idk how he knows nothing about boxing. He doesnt notice a shoulder roll is different as orthodox or southpaw. His understanding is so elementary idk how. Hes been in boxing too long to not know anything
The Crazy Part is James Toney is one the best Defensive fighters in Boxing History. His Damage comes from Gym Wars (Sparring ) and those 2 Fights with Heavyweight Sam Peter; Particularly the 2nd Fight.
*James Toney doesn't need to fight anymore period, you can barely understand anything he says, he needs an interpreter and that's very sad, one of the best to do it back in his prime.*
@@sharp7704 You said "Speech ain’t got nothing to do with hand pumping. He always spoke like this even in his prime My Reply *@Sharp7704.... You straight tripping, James Toney definitely did NOT talk like this when he was in his prime, and younger. Go watch some tapes on him, he spoke clear and you could understand everything he said, now you need a translator to figure out what language he's talking in, and no disrespect to James Toney at all, he's one of the best that laced them up!!!*
Look im one the biggest Toney fans but stop with your pretend positivity! You can tell by his slow,stutterring speech his brain is badgered! Ppl like you make me sick
I love Toney fighting style but lets not forget Floyd improved the shoulder roll throughout his career.. when he was pretty boy he had ah more offensive counter of the roll style.. later on fighting bigger opponents he had to change it up ah bit to make sure he took the least amount of damage as possible
Listening to some of these older boxers talk. Really shows the damage of being continually punched in the head.. Yet people wonder why Floyd became so defensive in the latter part of his GOAT career.
Floyd is the only boxer to ever be awarded points for defense. The guy could throw and land half of the punches his opponent lands, and still win on the judges' scorecards unanimously. The cards would be something like 118 to 114 with Floyd winning rounds that he didn't even throw or land many punches compared to his opponent. That's what happens when Vegas judges have your back in boxing. Floyd lost at least 5 fights in his career, but he still won because he made sure it was in the bag ahead of time. He is a great boxer, but not a great fighter, and he definitely isn't the Black Mamba. Even Floyd will have brain damage issues later in life, even if it takes until his 50's or 60's to start developing it. Floyd fans act like he rarely got touched in his fights which is a complete lie.
He fought in 2017 and you need to retired for at least 5 years to be eligible for the boxing HOF. Then they also have to do the voting system to see who gets in.
Respect to James Toney...didn't run from anyone and fought whenever called on..but as a result he can't talk after taking so much punishment..this fight game is no joke #hitandnotgethit
Floyd combined the Shoulder roll with the Philly shell. he rolled more against he ropes while coming forward with the shell or behind his gloves. Floyd also used his legs more. Toney was flatfooted esp later in his career and rolled. its a big difference.
Toney is definitely a hall of famer!! One of the greats.. so gifted and naturally talented and an iron chin! Can hardly understand what he’s say he’s so punch drunk!
Bill Miller's influence in James Toney...Ezzard Charles was a good friend of Pops... Mentioning Sugar Ray Robinson was awesome too along with Archie Moore
James Toney wasn't the best of his era but his accomplishments throughout his career from waxing Nunn, to the end at heavyweight, clearly make him a HOF fighter. Just based on middleweight maybe not but the climb in weight and his ability to win at higher weights separates him from other fighters. He could have fought in any era and been near the top.
James "lights out" Toney is the definition of a boxing hall of fame candidate. I base that purely on achievement and his entertaining style and dedication to th noble art
James Toney not being in the hall of fame is a joke. His defense was one of the greatest
He’s not eligible yet. Have to be retired for 4-5 years. He fought in 2017
@Gary Taylor explain wladamir getting inducted so damn fast?
@@KingSlaughter4 nah he was in this class . They picked Andre ward , Klitschko and Mayweather. So james toney can be in the HOF but not 1st ballot
Offense also
his defense was the greatest
Zab has matured beautifully. Great conversation, always dropping pearls of wisdom. Lives well lived, triumphs, disappointments and great comebacks all rolled into one beautiful life.
@Gary Taylor funny guy....
It's a good thing to see wild dudes become mild dudes.
@@citizengain lol yeah zab was on a 100 all the time when he was young lol
@@bwilliams1252 If U survive, U realise. He comes across as an honest dude in interviews, we can't ask for more from a man really.
Considering he's a hood dude (a real one) he's matured well especially post chicken dance.
James Toney not being in the hall of fame is a making a mockery of boxing! Absolute joke
That's a fact buddy... A complete travesty!
Unbelievable
that get me so tight you aint lying
Damn I always figured he was in there that's crazy that he's not SMH
what he is not in? HAHA what a joke , literally the greatest talent of all time. He is my fav fighter.
James was one of the few fighters who when they said “I’ll fight anybody anytime anywhere” he really meant it
Toney a hall a famer hands down
Toney never been knocked out in all his fights. That says alot
That's true but when I listen to James Toney talk these days it's hard to understand him, boxing took its toll on lights out James Toney, but I would love to see him and Mike Tyson mix it up. Let's go champ! 💪🥊🥊

Or how he would say it “BOTTOM LINE”
You must have missed his two fights against Montell Griffin not to mention the one against Drake Thadzi. If Toney goes into the Hall then those two should go in before him.
Zab stood up for Floyd.
They are friends and was on the same boxing team at one point in the amateurs...
@@lamontt9127 He went to the Olympics with Floyd but he was a alternate and didn’t get the chance to box
Zab said in a interview that he and Floyd have been friends since youth

Zab is one of my favorite fighters never ducked anyone
Zab is still sharp to. He took some losses, but still sounds articulate
I would like to see Zab come back and fight Adrian Bonner, I think that would be a good fight
I think even as old as zab is he beats broner.
Fosho Zab beats AB even now
Yeah you're right, fighters back then really wanted to show everyone they were the best by fighting the best in there division, for example look at Mickey Ward he lost alot but was love by many

@@emmadeeba2038 james Toney will beat everybody that you know right now, it's a Big difference between talking shit and being able to back it up.

@@phantom33bb58 lol not that roy jones fight
If Toney puts on another pair of gloves, everybody involved should be locked up!
For real. Look like he had too much punch to drink
The part of the brain that’s responsible for complete sentences/speech is barely existent
That’s funny 😆
😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
If he fight Tyson he gonna end up like Apollo creed
Man I love seeing zab more involved in boxing since he's retired. He's such a credit to the sport and to the fans!
Floyd definitely gave Tony his props long time ago.
James Toney 1 of my favorites man was a monster

Ahhhhuuh Ok.. That better be the only reason then. BTW that user name is HARD bru. I dig it
Key facts. Thanks for the info bro! ✊🏾
Makes sense
Ok thanks 4 clearing that up!
Ezzard Charles and James Toney. The only two men that kicked Ass from middle weight to Heavyweight. Periodt!
I fk with Zab, he's a real one, good to see him having fun
Floyd took the shoulder role and added more to it. He added better slips and pull counters
Floyd sr and Roger did it first
You dont see toney hug his opponent if he misses his punch. Toney was a beast
@@CoRocDaGreat They didn't do the shoulder roll first. Have you ever heard of Ezzard Charles, Archie Moore, George Benton, Ray Robinson?! You people on here don't know a damn thing about boxing!

So many casuals that think they know boxing 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤣🤣🤣
Toney was one of my top 5! Favorite fighter's!! Michigan Stand Up!!
Sad to hear james slur but nice to see he looks good and still moves good god bless him🙏
Truth and yea still move great. He'd still beat the brakes off someone. Too many fights and hard sparring tho. One of the best to do it

Toney gotta crazy resume, he fought legends in all his weight classes
With all due respect....Judging by sound of Toney compared to Floyd, I would take Floyd's shoulder role any day of the week
Lol exactly
